Why are all the decks I'm really liking being released at once? Between this, Pizza, VANDA's Planets series, Alex Chin's new deck and a few KS decks I have bought privately; my poor wallet needs a breather.
It has been an awful / beautiful summer for my wallet and my collection too :-/ However, don't worry Pinocchio won't be ready before October.
October! That’s so far away :| Guess I will have to learn be a little more patient :?
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

Hi, I just "stolen" an image of two prototypes. They are printed by MPC, so don't expect the highest quality. Also the tuck cases are a premiere (don't tell that to Elettra! :D )

We plan to use metallic inks for the colors, the decks will be printed by USPCC.

Wow. I haven't been impressed by the artwork that has been revealed until this. These look really good. The back design is really nice in design and color. That Jack looks like a combination of styles between Lorenzo and Giovanni. Well done.

Pinocchio will be released the 21th of October on Kickstarter. It will be a two deck project (I'm keeping some aces up my sleeve): Pinocchio Sapphire and Pinocchio Vermillion. The illustrations will be 100% different between the two decks

Backed! I noticed that the double deck "book" case is only an extra $10. To me that's a no brainer. So beautiful!

I ended up backing the first EB I saw, I should have read all the pledge levels, but I went for the two deck EB, this evening I changed to the four deck with the two book deck cases, non-EB.

I was backer #11, though, so that's something.

Not sure about your backer's name but if you are #11 you are in for the "Rabbits" quartet (L.E.) that means 4 total decks: 1 Vermilion, 1 Sapphire and 1 double deck (the Collodi's Pinocchio edition). Is it correct?

Conturbia,

Yeah, that's correct, the four deck set, 1 each, then two with the double book case.

I had originally pledged for the E.B. of 1 each, but switched once I had a chance to read through the whole campaign. I knew I wanted in on these from what you've been showing us here on the forums.
